    I had this lens when I first started photography 3 years ago and missed it ever since I upgraded to the RF mounts. Love that this is now on RF mounts. Such a great lens every photographer should have

    I purchased this because I upgrade from Canon 6d to Canon EOS R. Sharp lens. I had the EF version. 50mm is the one of the best lens for portrait and any candid photography.

    This lense was added to my collection. It’s a great entry level lense but after I shot with it a few times I went to a 35m just because I liked that perspective better with my shots.

    Can’t go wrong with the nifty fifty!!

    You can never go wrong with the nifty fifty. If you’re starting off as a photographer, this 50 with f/1.8 should support most, if not all of your needs. This glass along with a solid rig will help you capture stunning photos with incredible depth of field. Not well suited for video needs bc of the lack of internal stabilization, but it’s still so worth the price.
